DURHAM.
The report OF the Geological Survey generally
contains numerous cuts and illustrations. BY the
terms of the clause in the appropriation bill OF
1885 it was required that the Secretary should
specify these cuts as necessary before a contract
could be made for their preparation. The work is
such as cannot be done at the Government Print
Ing office. SO it has to be done outside by con-
tract. just after the law passed Public Printer
Rounds made contracts for such work, and after
this was done 1t was discovered that the law had
not been complied with in the matter of the Sec
retary'S approval. The contracts were finally
withdrawn and the approval OF the work secured.
Mr. Benedict, who as Mr.. Rounds successor is re-
sponSible for the performance OF the work. asked
the opinion of the First Controller, as to whether
the contracts in this case were valid.
Judge Durham decided they were To-day
the question was again brought before Judge Dur
